“Holy cow! Thanks Tim and Kathy! They took such great care of our 2 dogs for 2 weeks. So flexible on meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. Our high energy boxer is wore out, super unusual. And our high maintenance older pointer mix is just as peaceful as ever, his respiratory issue was taken care of well and that's a lot to keep up with. I can't say enough how much my wife and I appreciate the care they gave them. The fenced in yard with a good wood pile, walks, and pictures gave us peace of mind the whole time. We will book again with them anytime we need to and they're available.”
“Kikka loved her weekend with Maxine. She was well taken care of and Maxine was very quick to respond to questions and sent plenty of pictures and updates! Highly recommend!”
“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“One of the big reason why I decided to go with Arya for my 3 year old Lab, Bubbles, is the way he explicitly explained about the expectations and facts, how we as customers should expect him to host. Hosting a pup may be easy but understanding the psyche, taking measures to ensure all dogs are safe needs skills and that sets Arya apart. Few weeks before hosting, I took Bubbles for a meet and greet, only with Arya. He introduced Enzo and Igor to me as well, but, only after Bubbles was in the car. It gave me a wonderful feeling how much he cared about not just his pups but mine too. The stay- Arya is a brilliant and talented host and has been updating me with many videos and pictures about the walks, food and stays. He diligently walked Bubbles everyday. As Bubbles is a black lab, he was being mindful of the heat and took him out for walks at night. I was impressed how much he cares and loves the pups he is boarding. Overall it was a great experience and I am sure Bubbles will love to spend more time with Arya. I would highly recommend Arya for your pups. I have already decided to go with Arya and use his services henceforth.”
“Caterina proved to be the perfect sitter for my senior dog Max. She sent updates and it was evident that she truly cares about what she does. Max came home happy and energetic—not always the case with some boarding kennels. I cannot recommend her more highly, and Max and I look forward to his staying with her again.”
“i’m pretty sure my dog was upset that i was taking her away from Beth’s retreat when i came to pick her up lol Beth was very thorough during our meet n greet. you could tell that caring for our pup the way we do was super important to her which we loved. she was very communicative and attentive to Cookie’s needs. she sent pictures and video’s throughout. we will definitely be booking with her the next time we’re in need!”
“Lil bear loves going there. I never have to worry about him when I drop him off. We use them for overnight boarding and doggy daycare. I highly recommend them.”
“We had a lovely experience with Andrea! She was very easy to coordinate with and responded to communications promptly, and we returned to a happy and relaxed dog. Thank you again.”
“Destiny took such good care of my Opie. Her home environment seemed comforting/spacious for him and she made sure he got multiple walks a day. She sent lots of pictures, little updates, and made sure to ask questions about behaviors she wasn't sure about.”
“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”
“Jennifer's place was a haven for dogs who love to have easy access to the outdoors. My dog Kodi is 13 and now has some digestive challenges now. He's pretty cranky for a 9-pound ball of fluff and Jennifer kept him happy and exercised with multiple walks per day and lots of chances to explore outside. Kodi can be avoidant or sometimes fearful of larger dogs, but he seemed at ease interacting with the other pups he met during his stay. Jennifer was super flexible and accommodating, thank you!!”
“Ray has taken Oona while I’ve been away twice and both times was great with communication and sending pictures. He was flexible and thoughtful. I’m so happy I’ve found someone I so dependable who I can trust to care for my little girl.”
“Our dog absolutely loved staying here and she took such good care of her. Such a great place for dogs to run and get exercise outside. You can tell Dixie loves dogs. We highly recommend her.”
“Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Daisy. I was worry-free on my trip as I received daily photos of Daisy playing, snoozing, and hanging out with Kim. Kim treated Daisy as her own and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their dog to stay while their away.”
“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Angi and David were great! Our dog got walks, playtime, and seemed to feel right at home. They kept us updated during our dog’s stay and even sent us pictures. I felt so comfortable and would certainly work with them in the future!”

“We are very pleased with the care that our little Johnny received from Margaret M. Johnny is very shy and she seemed to be able to manage him and his nervousness with ease we would definitely use her again”
“Bill and Emma were terrific caregivers over the course of 11 days. They provided very consistent care and attention for and to my older cat, along with many photos and daily notes 2x/day for his human. I would have them care for Benny again without hesitation.”
“While I'm traveling, I've had Teri do daily visits to check-in on my cat. I've hired her for multiple trips over the course of two years. She has always done a great job and been excellent to work with!!”
“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
“Rachel took excellent care of my cat! She was very friendly and stellar at communicating: she always kept me in the loop about my kitty. I recommend working with Rachel; next time I need pet care, I'll ask her first.”
“The best cat/house sitter. Bobbi Jo took great care of my two cats, made sure they were fed and litter was clean and that they mostly stayed out of too much trouble, and also took care of my home during a snowstorm. Bobbi Jo was very responsive as well and communicated consistently.”

In fact, I volunteered at a cat shelter in 2017. I cleaned the rooms, cages, fed the cats, and cleaned out the litter boxes. I take the care of animals extremely seriously and want every owner to know that their pets are in the right hands. I know that I would want the same for my pets that I love so dearly. I am very flexible with hours and short notice jobs.
“Heather was super sweet, understanding and very responsive! She understood my circumstances for needing my kitty Poptart watched and had no complaints with how last minute my request was. When there was an interference with the pickup time, she was completely understanding and didn’t charge extra. I even told her about Poptart’s disliking of other cats, and she kept her in a room separate from her own and even offered to introduce my cat to hers to get her more accustomed to being around other cats in the future. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter and I’ll definitely consider her again in the future!”
“Jade was great! She took care of my two kittens for a week for drop in visits, and provided me updates every day. Fantastic and quick communicator. My kittens loved her! Will definitely use her again.”

“Tim and Kathy always take awesome care of my "kids" . They love hanging out with Bailey and his parents. We will miss them all when we make our move to West Virginia. Thank you so much!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Jennifer! Needed last minute doggy daycare for my boy. Text her the morning of. She was quick to respond. I felt at ease as soon as I pulled in. I knew he would have a good time and he did! Picking up was also flexible. So thankful for Jennifer today!”
“Hiedi was over the top great! She went above and beyond to give my dog Archie a great first daycare experience. She went to lengths to make sure he was comfortable with her dog, and vice versa. He came home totally happy, relaxed and tired. He can't wait to see Hiedi and Kenzi again!!”
“Jill was just great! Flexible and friendly, quick with all communication. She was very attentive to Marshall’s needs and made sure that all the dogs integrated well. Marshall had fun playing with her dogs and going on walks. We received videos of him having a good time. Will definitely bring Marshall here again whenever we are in the area.”
“Kyle took excellent care of my elderly Maltese, Sammy. It was a relief that he was able to take care of Sammy on short notice and give my skittish dog a calm place to stay. He always responded quickly to messages and sent me a picture of Sammy each day. I would happily let him watch Sammy again if we come back to Ithaca.”

“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”
“My dog had a fabulous time at daycare with Mikia, her daughter and her dog Zara. I received some great photos (including some funny ones of the dogs wrestling) and felt comfortable knowing the dog was having a good time, socializing and burning off her adolescent energy while I was at work. Highly recommend!”
“Randi was amazing with Lucky! She went above and beyond to keep him happy and comfortable, and her communication was great both before and during the booking. She sent regular photo updates that gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear Lucky was having the best time. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Randi again the next time we’re in the area!”
“Bianca is a treasure! So happy to have found you. This was the first time using Rover. I was nervous. From the first moment I met Bianca I knew my baby was in very special hands. Bianca is kind, gentle & fun. A true animal lover. Thank you Bianca for giving Gus such a wonderful day❣️”
“We were passing through town and needed daycare for our chihuahua. Shihong took Peanut on short notice, picked her up to take her on a walk around the block with his dog, Cotton, and reported back that things were going well! Peanut had a couple accidents in the house and he was unfazed. He was diligent about socializing her to his dog and by the end of the day they were snuggled in the crate together. Wish we could bring Peanut to Shihong every day! Highly recommend.”
About: I have raised and cared for my families dogs as well as my own personal pets since I was a child. From puppy days to senior life, I have experienced it all and have enjoyed every moment of it. For me, having dogs around is a must! I currently work 4 days a week at a brewery in Rochester. I am available for walks and check-ins Tuesday/Wed all day, Thursday-Friday 8am-11am. Sunday's are open and negotiable as well! I enjoy spending time outside (park, trails, yard) with the active dogs, and talked to/petting the lazy/sleepy ones while they lounge inside. I live close to some wonderful parks, and enjoy throwing a ball around or just taking a stroll.
“Dixie was super sweet and is a lovely sitter! Our two big girls looked like they had a really good time! Dixie also give us some news during the day for us to know everything was doing great ? Would really recommend her!! ?”
“Susan kept in touch with me on my dog's first day care try. My dog did not get along with the other dog, so she kept them separated until I could get there to pick my dog up. Susan was very patient with him and kept him company. The problem was my dog and I will contact her again for a solo stay.”

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

About: I always loved having pets growing up. I grew up in the country so we had a lot of space for animals to be able to run around and be outside. Dogs, cats, birds...practically every creature you can imagine. Currently I have a cat of my own, and a friend’s dog who I watch fairly regularly. It works out well because I’m a very active person who likes to get outside as much as possible—hiking when the weather permits and bringing him along with me. This is in part due to my ever-changing, flexible schedule. I have a few set shifts during the week, but for the most part I make my own hours and I have time to be available pretty much whenever I am needed!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.
